The NY Times today examines the oft arduous task of finding an advanced-level yoga class when you’re ready to make that transition into a deeper practice. Since yoga has really been blossoming into mainstream (15.8 million adults practicing, Yoga Journal reports) most studios cater to newbies or beginning-intermediate levels for the coveted prime time slots, leaving those more advanced yogis to tone down their practice or try and look elsewhere.
